Abstract art mark making #2 | DIY stencils

Abstract art mark making #2. Welcome to my KZbin channel!
This is the second video in my series all about mark making in abstract art.
Mark making can be one of the most interesting aspects of abstract art, and for me it is about challenging myself to make marks using only products or materials I have made myself, and in this case mainly some DIY stencils.
They are not intended to be "finished" art pieces, just mark making for the fun of it! I hope they inspire you.
You can see my first Mark Making video here at • Abstract art mark maki...

Thank you for watching, Eleanor x

That's so sweet of you Shel, I go through phases of loving neutrals and then going full on color lol! Thank you for your lovely comment, Eleanor xx

Absolutely love your techniques! Can't wait to get back in the studio with my student after Covid-19 calms down to try this! Thank you!

[@RedQueenArtCreations]

Thank you so much Sharon, I think I had Covid 19 a few weeks ago and I'm totally exhausted! I hope you can get back in your studio soon! Eleanor x

[@diegoelias7054]

me encanto!

[@charlottebellamycreativeph9021]

Hi love this so much - cannot ask what the second mark making tool that you used was? Is it pencil or charcoal and is there a special way to hold it to create the beautiful marks you have? Thanks

[@artdinhxuanquynh]

your art is unique, i like this

[@SergeAkwei]

Very inspiring and soothing. Thanks for sharing!

[@RedQueenArtCreations]

Hi Serge, you are so welcome, thank you for your kind comment, Eleanor x

[@tracishaffer9710]

Awesome Video! I have see a lot of artist using the flat wide catalyst to swipe paint on the canvas. Are these catalyst for artists or are the maybe a baking tool for the kitchen? I'm having trouble finding the one you are using in this video.

[@RedQueenArtCreations]

Hi Traci, I use a Messermeister bowl scraper (used for cooking, can be found on Amazon) and a Princeton catalyst wedge from any good art retailer. Hope this helps! Eleanor x

[@swl9270]

Gorgeous! Love that green! See when I attempt to do this type of work I stop after the first layer thinking what a mess! I do want to be able to paint this way!

[@RedQueenArtCreations]

I agree so much with you Sherry, I find it very hard to get past the first layer sometimes but very often what starts out as a complete mess turns into the most beautiful art, just keep persevering! Thank you so much for your lovely comment, Eleanor x

[@LynnLBE]

I just discovered your channel. I have to say I LOVE your style/your work‼️. Cool music too.

[@VanasseCoco]

Your art is really beautiful! Love your mark making! I have a question though: We can put acrylic over oil pastel without any problem? I know oil pastel are different than oil sticks but don't they contain a bit of oil? Thank you for sharing your techniques with us. 😁

[@RedQueenArtCreations]

Hi, technically, no you should not put acrylic over oil. This was more of a mixed media piece and the oil sticks worked OK, not sure why, maybe just the formulation. Hope this helps and thank you for your lovely comment. Check out my Instagram for more ideas! :) Eleanor x

[@VanasseCoco]

[@Nadiau100]

Hi, these are amazing pieces...in your opinion, what is the difference between these and "finished " piece? Struggling to see the difference and would appreciate any insights ...thanks for sharing your beautiful work...

[@RedQueenArtCreations]

Hi Nadia, I suppose maybe they are finished, I think what I meant to say I just use these pieces for inspiration purposes rather than ending up framing them for example as a finished piece of art. I hope this makes sense!! Thank you for your lovely comment, Eleanor x

[@annetteemcourtemanche4679]

Hi, you are amazing. Can you give a list of the crayons you used and the brand I like the way it blends!

[@debbiekeneipp5679]

LOVE LOVE LOVE! One question though, what is a graf pencil? Where would I purchase one. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@RedQueenArtCreations]

Hi Debbie, it is called an Art Graf pencil, which is a carbon pencil that comes in different colours, you can buy them from Amazon or any good online craft store. Hope that helps! Eleanor x

[@debbiekeneipp5679]

Red Queen Art Creations thank you so very much!!!!!

[@tinae8433]

Thanks so much! I love your videos!! Question: what product do you like the absolute best for doing super black mark making over wet? What is the black pencil shaped thing you used to put the black line work back in after the first layer of wet? Again thanks👍🏼❤😁

[@RedQueenArtCreations]

Hi Tina, I think the only black pencil I used was a black Art Graf pencil, although the paint would have been dry at this point (it dried quite quickly because I used so little paint). I don't know of any pencil that would work over wet paint. So sorry for not making this clear in my video! Thank you so much for your kind comment and I'm so glad you are enjoying my videos, Eleanor :)

Beautiful 👍 my new friend 👍 stay connected 👍

[@paulahardesty4449]

I’m in love with all your art thank you soooooomuch for sharing. Do u spray your pieces when done?

[@RedQueenArtCreations]

Hi Paula, generally I don't use spray unless I am going to mount them or frame them, in which case I use a satin finish varnish but I don't use it very often. The only other time I use a spray is if I use charcoal or pastels which need setting and then I use a pastel fixative. But I mainly just end up putting them inside a journal for reference in which case I don't bother using any spray. Thank you so much again for taking the time to leave such a lovely comment, I really appreciate it and am glad you have enjoyed the videos, Eleanor x

[@sanatsalimge]

wooow!! I'm impressed with your style. Really amazing artwork. I'll follow you happily. Thanks for sharing. New friend :)

[@judithclendenning4146]

Is this done with oil? What is the length and width of this great paper?

[@RedQueenArtCreations]

Hi, no it is all done with acrylic paint. I have used an A3 sheet of heavyweight paper.

[@caprison3912]

what equipment are you using? Abstraction is my new art project!

[@RedQueenArtCreations]

Hi! I have used a 140lb heavyweight paper and acrylic paints. If there is anything else you would like to know please come back to me! Eleanor x

[@lynetteclauser3551]

I’ve watched several of your videos in a row. You are truly amazing. Can’t wait till I get back with my students in August. Had a question about what you are using . Are you using oil sticks at times. They are quite thick in diameter and I note you can smear them? If so do they dry quickly? If not oil sticks what are they. I’ve noted your oil pastels, these seem quite a bit thicker and more pigmented.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤❤❤ It's delicious

Please do more. I see you haven't posted in a year. Where did you go queen?

[@suegudmundson7103]

Lovely work. I watch all your videos. Would love a bit of change of music. Otherwise excellent!

[@RedQueenArtCreations]

Hi Sue, sorry about the repetitive music, it's so hard to find good copyright free music. In my last few videos I have actually used different music and added voiceovers as well. Sorry if you have found it annoying! But thank you so much for your lovely comment about the video and I am glad you enjoyed it, Eleanor x

[@suegudmundson7103]

Hey no worries. Your work is so great. No need to apologize for the music. You have so inspired me
